In my haste to create atrocious puns, I almost missed something in your seminal post. In England do you have the word "jewellery?" Here in the US we would write jewelry. And most of the people I know would pronounce it JOO el ree with the middle syllable almost swallowed, for lack of a better term. It would be considered non-standard to say JOO le ree or JOOlree, though I have heard both.
